The Bible and the Mass IV: Penitential Rite/ Gloria
There will be points in the liturgy where I will reach something that I’ve already discussed. If the topic is praying for others and I’ve covered that previously, I won’t repeat myself. I’ll leave it up to you to go back and read, although hopefully you’ve been reading from the beginning.
PENITENTIAL RITE (cont.)
May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.
John 3:16- “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
John 3:36- “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
John 6:47-51- “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
Romans 6:22- “But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.”
Shorter versions:
(Priest leads, people respond)
Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, we have sinned against you.
Lord, show us your mercy and love.
And grant us your salvation.
Psalm 51:1-4- “Have mercy upon me, O God,
According to Your lovingkindness;
According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
Blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.
Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil in Your sight—
That You may be found just when You speak,
And blameless when You judge.

Amen.”
Revelation 17:14- “These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
We worship You…
John 4:23-24- “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Revelation 15:4- “Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? or You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, for Your judgments have been manifested.”
We give You thanks…
Ephesians 5:18-20- “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him.”
Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father….
2 John 1:3- “Grace, mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.”
2 Peter 1:17-18- “For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’ And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.”
Lord God, Lamb of God, You take away the sin of the world; have mercy on us.
John 1:29- “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, ‘Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!’”
John 1:35-36- “Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, ‘Behold the Lamb of God!’”
1 Peter 1:18-19- “…knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”
You are seated at the right hand of the Father, receive our prayer.
Romans 8:34- “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.”
Colossians 3:1-4- “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.”
Hebrews 1:1-3- “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high….”
For You alone are the Holy One…

…You alone are the Lord…
Revelation 15:3-4- They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying:
“Great and marvelous are Your works,
Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are Your ways,
O King of the saints!
Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are holy.
For all nations shall come and worship before You,
For Your judgments have been manifested.”
Romans 5:1-2- “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”

…You alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
Not just “Son of the Most High,” but the Most High God. The Bible testifies that Jesus is God. John 8:57-59-
The Jewish leaders would not have been enraged enough to stone Jesus if He was only claiming to be one in purpose with God. By using the name of God, I AM, he was saying that He is, in fact, God.
The subject of Jesus' divinity deserves more than a cursory treatment, so I will be covering this a bit more in part V.

2 Peter 1:17-18- “For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’ And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.”

1 Peter 1:18-19- “…knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”
You are seated at the right hand of the Father, receive our prayer.
Romans 8:34- “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.”
Colossians 3:1-4- “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.

For You alone are the Holy One…
Luke 1:35- “And the angel answered and said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.’”
1 John 2:20-21- “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.”
…You alone are the Lord…

“Great and marvelous are Your works,
Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are Your ways,
O King of the saints!
Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?

Not just “Son of the Most High,” but the Most High God. The Bible testifies that Jesus is God. John 8:57-59-
Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You
seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
The Jewish leaders would not have been enraged enough to stone Jesus if He was only claiming to be one in purpose with God. By using the name of God, I AM, he was saying that He is, in fact, God.
The subject of Jesus' divinity deserves more than a cursory treatment, so I will be covering this a bit more in part V.
